Strategic Framework for Innovation Spaces in Andalusia

Strategic Framework for Innovation Spaces in Andalusia

The Strategic Framework is a policy document adopted by the Regional Government of Andalusia (Spain) in 2018 which provides single direction for a network of 10 innovation spaces, mostly Science and Technology Parks, each of them with a different degree of consolidation. We first started with an in-depth reflection on how the concept of science and technology park has evolved over the past two decades to then assess the new policy context provided by the smart specialisation strategies. Once reviewed in detail every park involved, a good number of strategic guidelines and specific recommendations were duly assembled by key themes. TASO has addressed this assignment as an opportunity to test a new way of planning in industrial and innovation policies, more easily convertible into work agendas.
